Background
In the subsequent processes of integrated circuit chip fabrication, magnetron sputtering in Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is one of the most widely used techniques. Metal interconnects, hard masks, packaging all require the use of PVD techniques. Metal interconnects are the most critical technology, and metal wires are deposited by PVD in trenches and vias formed by photolithography to interconnect transistors to form the desired circuits. A complete metal interconnect process is generally comprised of: Barrier/Seed Layer (Barrier/Seed Layer) deposition, copper Electroplating (ECP), Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP). As the integration level of chips increases, the number of wiring layers required for interconnection increases. The formation of the multi-layered metal wiring is achieved by patterning through a photolithography technique after CMP, and repeating a metal interconnection process.
To reduce the collision of deposited particles with argon ions during sputtering, Self-Ionized Plasma (Self-Ionized Plasma) sputtering techniques have been developed. By applying higher energy to the target and smaller magnetron area, the sputtered particles have a very high ionization rate. The sputtering ions are pulled back to the target by the bias voltage of the target, spirally advance under the action of the strong magnetic field, collide with other atoms or the target for many times, excite more ions, and therefore the plasma is maintained. When the energy is high enough, argon is not needed, only the sputtered atoms-
The ions themselves are capable of sustaining plasma Sputtering, a technique known as Self-Sustained plasma Sputtering (SSS).
It is generally desirable that the power density applied to the target be high enough to increase the ionization rate of the sputtered particles to achieve SSS, such as by reducing the size of the magnetron to increase the power density. However, reducing the size of the magnetron requires the magnetron to be moved in a certain trajectory on the back of the target to achieve full target erosion.
Chinese granted patent CN100511569C discloses a asteroid magnetron (magnetron), and its specific disclosure can be referred to its granted text.
However, in the planetary magnetron described above, the gear mechanism is fixed once it is completed, and the trajectory of the magnetron is fixed, and if the trajectory of the magnetron is to be changed, it is necessary to newly machine a gear mechanism.
